Borgut's Gnoblog- The Angry Suns Tribe

original thread ↗

Finally after a LONG LONG hiatus from Warhammer, I've begun to slowly recollect my Ogres. As such I'm creating this gnoblog to chronicle my progress of building the Angry Suns.

Now when I said slowly I meant it. So far the new Tribe consists of four kitbashed characters and possibly 6 Ironguts I might be able to salvage from the old group of Ogres. Right now I made the following from my first official box:

1 Firebelly with Great Weapon (KB'd from Irongut box and Greenstuff)
1 Bruiser Battle Standard Bearer (KB'd from Irongut box, Greenstuff, and the old bitz box)
1 Butcher/Slaughtermaster of Varying Lores (KB'd from Irongut box, Greenstuff, and the old bitz box)
1 Tyrant/Bruiser/Maneater with Heavy Armor, Ironfist, and Sword (KB'd from Irongut box)

The last one I didn't GS anything simply because I couldn't think of anything to make for him. Once I upload some pictures I will show you what I'm talking about. If I don't end up using him as a character, I'll probably use him as a champion or Maneater of some sort simply because he's pretty cool looking.

I also did my first foray into GS'ing stuff last night. The Firebelly received a blindfold around his eyes and a giant fur shoulder pad/guard/decoration simply because I thought he could use something "extra". The Bruiser got a fur cloak based on Corai's awesome tutorial but I don't think it came out as well as his.  ;) If I ever do another like that I'll make sure to do the fur sculpting before applying to the ogre.

Lastly, the Butcher. He was the hardest to do. I had to sculpt a belly, wizard hat, and half-apron for him. By far the most difficult part was that damn apron of his!  :|

Like I mentioned in the OP, I've also got a unit of six Ironguts with full command as well so I can always add more to the unit later.

While not Ogres strictly, i also have the Skaven half of a Blood Island box so I may well use the clanrats as "gnoblars". I won't lie, I can't stand the regular gnoblar models. They don't fit right into a ranked unit, they're pretty ugly, and they're a PITA to paint. Besides, I have a full command with the Skaven mini's so I can always give my Gnoblars a full command *chuckles*. I know they won't actually have shields but if anyone asks I can just say they're too weedy to use them proper.  :P

Also, the two Rat Ogres from that would serve as dandy Gorgers (in addition to the old metal Gorger mini I found). I actually think that I like the Rat Ogres more for Gorgers than the GW Gorger minature itself.
The only stuff I can't see a real use for from the Skaven set is the characters and war machines but oh well. I'll still eventually paint them up so I can say I did.

Since Gutsmass is coming up soon I'm thinking of putting a box or two of Mournfang Cavalry on my list for dear old Father Gutsmass to bring me. I've been a good ogre this year... Well mostly...  :lol:
